The Cruisers.

Secretary Whitney todayEaddressed COM
munication to Chief Constructor Wilson in
which he says: Referring to the depart
ment's letters Of the 10th, which directed the
suspension of work under the bureau of con-
strnction and repairs in completing the hulls
Of the Chicago, Boston and Atlanta, such
suspension being caused by the fact that a
special appropriation for that purpose was
virtually exhausted, have to inform you
that the department is advised by the Attor-
ney General that the available balance of the
general appropriations under the respective
heads of the bureau of construction .and re-
pair, and the bureau of steam engineering
can be lawfully applied and used in complet-
ing the hulls and machinery Of said vessels,
provided the total expenditure shall not ex-
ceed the total estimated cost of said hulls
and machinery as reported by the naval ad-
visory board under the date of December 20,
1882. Immediate resumption of work on
these vessels is ordered. The chief construc-
tor felt confident he will be able to complete
the cruisers with the funds now at his dis
posal.
Secretary Endlcott to Resign.
1t is reported in Washington today that
the resignation Of William G. Endicott, Sec
retary of War, is in the hands of President
Cleveland. While this is probably prema-
ture the fact is that there is very little SYM
pathy between the President and Mr.. Endi-
colt and their entire alienation may occur at
any time. Mr.. Endieott, it is asserted, finds
his duties in the cabinet not congenial.

Boston and Maine.

The bill to allow the Boston and Maine to
consolidate itself with certain related roads
passed the Senate today without dissenting
voice. 1t will come into the House tomor-
row, probably, and a strong effort will be
made to get that body to reverse its former
vote. 1t would not'be surprising if the eff
fort succeeded. Some of the members of the
House do not seem to know just why they
voted against before; but others do and say
there will be fight lbefore the House re-
verses its vote.

day afternoon, May Dion Change to-
day wheat opened about 15c under the
close Saturday, and it soon settled down
to S5c for June and S44 for July, with
the long futures slowly following on the
down grade. There was a feeling of un-
certainty about the visible supply that
made trading quite dull early in the day.
Altogether, the day was the quietest seen
for some time in the wheat pit. June
opened at 851S, July S41S and August at
1925. All futures closed fraction under
the opening.
Corn-Opened quiet and during the
morning trading was at a low ebb. June
opened at 391S. sold to 39z5 and at l
o'clock closed at 1891. July closed at
4135. Shippers operated meagerly.
Rye-Was firm, but unusually dull.

Barley-Was steady, with a good local
demand and prices unchanged. Sales
BY sample-No 56@58c, No 59Q6Io.
Trading in short ribs and lard was light
and mainly of a scalping nature. At the
opening a weak feeling prevailed, and
prices declined slightly, owing to the in
creased receipts and lower prices for

hot sirocco, which ragged for a week, de-
stroying vegetation.

SAYS the Chicago Tribune: According
to the statistics of the Emigration Com
missioners OF New York City, showing
the destination of the immigrants who
arrived at that port last year, Illinois is
the third State in the Union, New York
being first and Pennsylvania second.
The total number was 300,8S7, of which
New York retained 109,554, Pennsylvania
received 42,103, and Illinois 25,502. It
would be Of interest to know what pro-
portion of these newcomers struck out
into the country and what propolt ton are
now trying to exc out a miserable exis-
tence by swelling the ranks OF semi
paupers in great cities. Illinois could
make good use of her quota, provided
only they went where there is more work
than workers. 1t is to be feared that a
large proportion of the twenty-five thou
sand and odd are moths lowering about
the dangerous candle of Chicago.
